Open Call for VERWEVEN 2014

Open call for designers for project VERWEVEN 2014 by Theatre Performer Nina Willems

Since few years FASHIONCLASH has been working with theatre performer Nina Willems.
(2013 Q&A with Nina Willems --> read here)
For the 2013 edition of FASHIONCLASH festival Nina created the concept for the special VERWEVEN Project. In the years to come, FASHIONCLASH will continue to collaborate with Nina Willems to realize the project “VERWEVEN”. In this project, we will tell the stories of ordinary people behind the clothes they wear. We ask them to show us their wardrobe and interview them about their lives and the importance of fashion in it. This will result in a series of short films about the influence of fashion on their daily lives.

OPEN CALL for designers for VERWEVEN
We would like to have a new outfit designed for each person that we interviewed. Therefore we are looking for 5 designers who see this as a challenge! Your challange is to create a new outfit for this person, inspired on the stories he/she tells in the film. To combine your own style as a designers with their style and stories. And to create a brand new piece that tells new story.
There are no rules for your design, apart from the fact that it must be wearable on the catwalk. We are open for experimental ideas and designs.
